Topical solution containing L-Canavaline?
Question:
Considering that L-Canavaline have almost identical chemical formula as L-Arginine – a herpes favourite, cannot herpes be fooled by taking L-canavaline as L-Arginine and then die? Where specifically in the body herpes is using L-Arginine? On its asymptomatic shedding areas? The question is, how deep on the skin-mucosa area, the regular site for herpes shedding, the L-canavaline cream/oil needs to penetrate the skin? Well, in case it cannot penetrate deep enough, it may be useful to first apply a Benzalkonium Chloride solution or Melissa in ethanol solution that would assure the penetration of the antivirals deep into the skin/mucosa, and after that, to maintain an environment that is unfriendly to herpes virus, should be applied this topical solution of L-Canavaline? I don’t know, maybe the solution can be processed from alfalfa powder? Perl von Molson

P Garrity, C Szelc, C Paquette, M McEvoy, R Millette, and R Adler Abstract Incubation of herpes simplex virus type 1-infected cells with succinyl-concanavalin A, a derivative of the jack bean lectin concanavalin A, resulted in the decreased production of virus. The mode of inhibition by the lectin was unclear. No effect was apparent on the level of viral DNA synthesis. However, incubation of infected cells with increasing concentrations of the lectin appeared to result in a decrease in the quantity of viral protein produced within the cell. A reduction in the virus titer of 57 to 64% was observed upon direct incubation of extracellular virus in the presence of 50 to 100 micrograms of succinyl-concanavalin A per ml.
